The Gospel of Thomas are sayings attributed to Jesus, not
Thomas.
[quote]Gospel of Thomas. (Translated by Thomas O. Lambdin).
These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and
which Didymos Judas. Thomas wrote down.[/quote]

(Sigh) I know that, but it's important for those looking for
sources for bible/Gnostic text study to cite the proper book,
chapter, and verse. Besides, anyone who sees that quote is
invariably going to ask, 'Where does He say that?', so I'm
helping them out.

Our enemies complain about common sense:

[quote]From next year, the booking system must also be changed
so that Deutsche Bahn no longer only addresses its customers
with “Mr.” or “Mrs.” [What about “It”?] Either it must be
dropped completely, or the company must find a third form of
address, which has so far been completely unclear.
...
“There are still no universally recognized standards for
addressing non-binary gender people in the German-speaking
world,” said a spokeswoman for Die Welt. Even within the group
of people affected, the ideas about this are currently still
very different.

Why not simply "Guest" ("Gast") for everyone?

[quote]The Marine Corps has been advised that its drill
instructors should no longer be referred to by gendered terms
like “ma’am” or “sir” — an idea that a top training leader has
pushed back on.
...
“The Army, Navy, and Coast Guard effectively de-emphasize gender
in an integrated environment,” the report says. “Instead of
saying ‘ma’am’ or ‘sir,’ recruits in these Services refer to
their drill instructors using their ranks or roles followed by
their last names. Gendered identifiers prime recruits to think
about or visually search for a drill instructor’s gender first,
before their rank or role.”
The report’s authors add, “By teaching recruits to use
gender-neutral identifiers for their drill instructors, Services
underscore the importance of respecting authoritative figures
regardless of gender.”[/quote]

But we always knew Marines are the most toxic branch:
[quote]Across all military branches, the Marine Corps has the
smallest percentage of females serving, Marine Corps Times
reported, and the branch has been slow to integrate men and
women in boot camp as all other branches have already done.
The new report says Marine recruits have brushed aside female
training staff in favor of male staff, who are seen as more
authoritative, according to Marine Corps Times. And in one
anecdote, drill instructors asked advice from a male peer while
a female chief drill instructor stood ignored nearby.
It’s not clear whether the Corps will take the report’s advice.
But the chief of staff for Marine Corps Training and Education
Command, Col. Howard Hall, told Marine Corps Times it’s not as
simple as tweaking training-level policies.
“It’s not something we would change overnight,” Hall said.
“We’ve got a history of ‘sir, ma’am, sir, ma’am.’ [/quote]

The good:
[quote]Lufthansa Will No Longer Address Passengers As "Ladies
And Gentlemen"
...
According to Travel + Leisure, “the German airline plans to do
away with its traditional onboard greeting: ‘ladies and
gentlemen, welcome on board.’ Instead, it will use
gender-neutral alternatives, like ‘dear guests’ and a simple
‘welcome on board.’[/quote]
The bad:
[quote]That said, the use of “sir” and “ma’am” wouldn’t be
banned on board.[/quote]
The Turanian linguistic heritage:
[quote]The publication wrote, “the language genders many words.
Unlike English, which uses gender-neutral nouns, German has
specific words for male doctor and female doctor and male editor
and female editor.”
Similar sentiment has been expressed by Spanish, French and
Italian groups, as all three languages utilize gendered
words.[/quote]

I feel like semantics are a massive reason why the debate on
"sexuality" is often so unproductive. We call people's
orientations "sexualities", as if sex is the core of a
relationship and actual romantic love is merely an extension of
that, when it should so obviously be the other way around.
Romantic love should be the core, but of course, both
traditional and progressive societies are too obsessed with sex
to see the bigger picture. When you try to explain to a right
winger who happens to be against homo"""sexuality""" why the
concept shouldn't be looked down upon as any less meaningful
than a hetero"""sexual""" relationship, the right winger in
question will often immediately go to images of sodomy in their
head, along with any other images typically associated with such
a relationship that they personally find distasteful. And why
WOULDN'T it conjure such images in their head, when even the
words we use to describe ROMANTIC ATTRACTION involve the word
"sex"? Why do we not call it something like homoromanticism or
something similar? I know that the end goal is to drop words
describing various attractions from common use all together
since they weren't important until rightists and false leftists
made it important, but it's so painfully obvious that it was a
mistake to let dishonorable people coin these terms in the first
place. By framing the debate as heterosexuality and
homosexuality, they soiled the whole thing and made almost every
single argument surrounding it less productive, since the very
inception of the word "sexuality". In short, the conflation of
sex with romance drives me mad

But, "There are plenty of fish in the sea", "The world is your

Also doesn’t help that false leftists chose identity over
individuality, so instead of having a united front against
homophobia and transphobia, we just have a squabbling mess
arguing over which box people are best crammed into. Exactly
what rightists want.
